Utilities included in housing costs
Rather than paying individual utility bills, you can now spend that energy on other useful things. While living on-campus, all of your amenities are completely fixed and included in one bill, charged to your student account; so you never have to worry about getting your heat turned off or your roommates using too much water.
High speed internet
No need to worry about internet that drops, slows down randomly, or even worse, paying an overcharge fee for exceeding your data limit; on-campus living provides free, unlimited high-speed internet at all times. Additionally, if you ever have any problems, the Information Technology Services team is more than willing to help you remedy them in a fast and effective manner.
Laundry included in housing costs
Living on-campus you have full 24-hour access to laundry services . You don’t have to break out the coin purse either, laundry is included in your housing rates. The only thing you need to provide is detergent, softener/dryer sheets, and your dirty clothes.
Maintenance and repairs by trained Physical Plant staff
Do you have broken lights? Is your room too cold? Is your sink or shower leaky? If you’re having any kind of maintenance issues, the Physical Plant team is there to help with any needed repairs. There’s no cost for maintenance/ repairs due to normal wear-and-tear.
Support from live-in staff
Residence Life Coordinators, Hall Directors, Community Coordinators, and Resident Advisors are all staying on campus with you and are trained to help you with any needs or problems that you have. Noise problems, roommate disagreement, wanting to change or switch rooms, or even having trouble finding proper resources—professional staff are trained to help you through these struggles.
